DOES GOD ANSWERS THE PRAYERS OF NON BELIEVERS?
For the past few weeks, we have been on the subject of prayers, an important aspect of the believer. God hears all we say, just like man-made bug can transmit conversations in your bedroom, to an eavesdropper, thousands of miles away, just like a mobile phone can send your voice to somebody in another continent. God no doubt, due to omnipotence and omnipresence abilities can hear all. The real question is does he answer all? As bitter as this may seem the answer is No. God may answer some specific prayers to show you he is real and in an attempt to led you to him [Remember God loves all and God is love] but, claiming the prayers for your relative who was sick made him well can be disputed because others who are no christian also get well. Real and prayers that God answers are these: one, you are washed in the blood of the lamb- you are memebr of the community of faith, called royal priesthood, see 1 Peter 2:9, But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: and Two, if your prayer is a cry of repentance or a prayer for others to be saved. Many are praying amiss today, see James 4:3, Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. This kind of prayer is the weekest form of prayer; like i wrote sequel to this article, the best kind of prayers are prayers of repentance, for God looks forward to receive them for God is love and the other, is interceeding for others to repent for God wants the ‘saved’, to stand in the gap for others to be saved too. The bible says in the book of Matthew 5:15, Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. In other words, if you have seen the goodness of God as expressed through his son, jesus you want others to know God, too. There some prayers that are nothing, but abomination before God! see Proverbs 28:9,He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.
Rememeber, in the bible Abba, meaning daddy is the exclusive reserved for those memebers of a family. Galatians 4:6, And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. be part of this family today!
